• Abstract: Within the framework of stochastic electrodynamics we derive the noise spectrum of a laser beam reflected from a suspended mirror. The electromagnetic field follows Maxwell's equations and is described by a deterministic part that accounts for the laser field and a stochastic part that accounts for thermal and zero-point background fluctuations.Likewise, the mirror motion satisfies Newton's equation of motion and is composed of deterministic and stochastic parts, similar to a Langevin equation. We consider a photodetector that records the power of the field reflected from the mirror interfering with a frequency-shifted reference beam (heterodyne interferometry). We theoretically show that the power spectral density of the photodetector signal is composed of four parts: (i) a deterministic term with beat notes, (ii) shot noise, (iii) the actual heterodyne signal of the mirror motion and (iv) a cross term resulting from the correlation between measurement noise (shot noise) and backaction noise (radiation pressure shot noise). The latter gives rise to the Raman sideband asymmetry observed with ultracold atoms, cavity optomechanics and with levitated nanoparticles. Our classical theory fully reproduces experimental observations and agrees with the results obtained by a quantum theoretical treatment.

  We propose a contact-less detection using a cross-cavity device where a material of interest is placed at its centre. We show that the optical properties of the material, such as Kerr and Faraday rotation, manifest in the coupling between the cavities' electromagnetic modes and in the shift of their resonant frequencies. Our approach is expected to be applicable across a broad spectrum of experimental platforms including Fock states in optical cavities, or, coherent states in microwave and THz resonators.

  We adopt an open quantum system approach to study the dynamics of a moving mirror. We derive the master equation governing the mechanical motion of the mirror. We show that the noise and dissipation kernels, that enter in the definition of the time-dependent coefficients of the master equation, are related by fluctuation-dissipation relations.

  We consider the cooperative spontaneous emission of a system of two identical atoms, interacting with the electromagnetic field in the vacuum state. Using time-dependent theory, we investigate the spectrum of the radiation emitted by the two-atom system. We show that it is modulated in time, and that the presence of the oscillating mirror can enhance or inhibit the decay rate.

  In spite of particle losses the quantum entanglement propagation exhibits a ballistic character with propagation speeds related to the differerent quasiparticles that are involved in the dynamics. Our analysis reveals that photon dissipation has a strikingly asymmetric behavior in the two configurations with a much more dramatic role on the holon entanglement propagation than for the doublon case.
